FAU should be fairly confident coming into this game. Not so much about winning but about being competitive. Realizing the level of competition they have just played should be a Major boost for the youngsters. Mistakes will have to be minimal or the Monroe team can steal a victory from FAU.
Will they be overconfident? Could be. However the coaches need to remind them that FAU was picked to LOSE every game this year anyway. Relax and have fun.
Last year Jared had a toss and catch with safety Chris Harris. Three times I believe. Both have moved on. Hopefully Embick won't repeat the same mistake. His scrambling should open up the pass down field. May be a good time to work on the running game too. Their QB is also pretty good out of the pocket. We have to contain the scramble toss to the tall WR.
I say that EMBRICK and EDGEWOOD should have a good game… ;)

The young players now Know what can happen when you execute and block when you are suppose to and I will agree that this team does possess more confidence, but hardly anything to hang your hat on, unless these young guys can use the expereince of the first three games and use it to their advantage. They need to set the stage early right from the first snap, that of high intensity and a physical presence.
All that experience means nothing if the young guys have not learned from it.
Plus, you can never be overconfident, as long as you remain focused on the results that you seek. If the players are prepared and are focused, then the confidence they build-up should help them get the results they seek. They must work harder then the other team and out execute them.

Both side of the ball have shown some signs that they could be solid units - the defense especially. The offense could have it's biggest day on Thursday and FAU fans should witness plenty of scoring - YES from FAU. The defense should recoup from Saturday and play solid to anchor a victory for us.
I look for us to have a solid game on both sides with a few miscues, but overall a solid preformance.

That false sense of security will get you blasted. Even at home. Should they be confident in their abilities? Yes. Should they feel "above" UL Monroe. No. But they have to feel better about their chances in this game here than the previous three teams.
They need to settle in and play good on both sides of the ball.

On another note, why isn't Minnesota a top 25 team?? They looked very good against us. If they had wanted to they probably could have racked up 80 points. Their run offense is outstanding. Look for them to finish in the top 15…maybe the top 10. GO OWLS!!!

I've read in a few publications that Minn haven't played anyone yet?!? They sure look like a top 25 team to me when they whipped up on Tulsa and Colorado State!

Yes, playing those three game is huge for are guys as far as building confidence, but I hope they realize (like Minnesota felt before playing us) that they still have much to improve on to over look anyone.
I do believe the coaching staff will be on top of this, how the players react, I guest will find out on Thursday.
Plus, the offense has done enough to be remotely overconfident about.
